Secret Project Better Raw + Chocolate Fudge Recipe
If you follow my work on either Facebook, Instagram (@betterraw) or Twitter, you are probably well aware that I'm planning something pretty big. Now I know that I haven't exactly revealed what it is yet and I'm going to keep you guessing for a bit longer, but just know that it is going to be EPIC and you are going to love it!
I know it will be epic, because you've been requesting this, ever since the day I launched my website. I know you are going to love it, because you've been requesting this, ever since the day I launched my website.
Just to give you an idea of how 'proper' this awesome project is, check out a couple of pics from our focus groups…

CHOCOLATE FUDGE
(A variation from Festive- The Best Raw Food Christmas Recipes)
1 cup sunflower seeds, soaked 2-4 hours
1 cup pitted dates, soaked 2-4 hours
½ cup cacao butter, gently melted
1/3 cup coconut butter, gently melted
1/3 cup cacao powder
1 tsp cinnamon
Pinch salt
Cacao nibs
-Gently melt the cacao butter first. I either grate the solid block of butter and melt in a double boiler with really warm water underneath or roughly chop the butter and place in the dehydrator for 60 minutes at 105degrees F. [To watch a video on melting the butter, go to my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/BetterRawBlog and look for the Chocolate Covered Strawberries video].
-Put all the ingredients (apart from cacao nibs) into a blender and blend with a tamper or by pulsing, until creamy.
-Chill the mixture in the fridge for 3 hours, then roll into truffle sized balls, coat them in cacao nibs and serve.
